It's a superb tool. If I were any good at C (instead of Python/Java/JS/etc) then I'd love to contribute. I have some questions: 1. Is it possible to configure motion to dump a camera stream to a file, ie have a rotated 'everything' file, for those moments when the motion detection didn't work and I want to review a day of footage? 2. Is it possible to use area_detect for motion detection, as opposed to the alert script? Removing parts of the view as detectable area seems very sensible when you've got trees/light issues causing false detection. 3. Is it possible to configure a minimum motion time, ie I only care about alerts more than 2 seconds? I'm seeing a lot of very small clips being recorded, ie just a few frames.

I've just found timelapse. I note it creates an avi video but the ffmpeg feature can be configured to create ogg videos, so perhaps the ogg part can be added to timelapse? Not a big issue though.

I assume it's referring to thread 1? I'm pinging my cameras and there's no packet loss, but perhaps it means motion missed a frame. Perhaps the message can be changed: "[WRN] [NET] [Camera 1]: Could not obtain a new frame after Xms from previous frame - try changing XX to resolve" or something a little more descriptive? Is there some config option to reduce this error, perhaps querying for a frame less often? I'm running two cameras off hot plugs which is perhaps why I have a 200ms ping response. ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2016 16:59:17 +0200 From: tosiara <tosi...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Motion-user] motion questions and feedback To: Motion discussion list <motion-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Message-ID: <CACHTdwT6F8LOr1x33hbv6Y7dcozXGO-kX3H=frGrGm=iy1j...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" I use swf format which is actualy MPEG2, but supports video append (resume) if you restart motion.
